Abstract: A laboratory scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal process was operated in the University of Cape Town configuration to study the variations in alpha and oxygen transfer efficiency

Abstract: Electrical conductivity (EC) is used for monitoring different types of aqueous systems. The measured EC value at any temperature needs to be corrected for a standard temperature, for reporting or comparison, since EC is ...

Abstract: With an ever-increasing demand for phosphate-based fertilizer, new sustainable sources of phosphorus are warranted. Recent technologies have successfully demonstrated the possibility of recovering phosphorus from ...

Abstract: A pilot-scale, first-stage, autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion reactor was used to study the effect of microaerophilic conditions on sludge solids destruction, volatile fatty acids (VFA) production, and phosphorus ...

Abstract: In this study, a laboratory scale Univ. of Cape Town enhanced biological phosphorus removal process was operated under controlled conditions at a solids retention time of 15 days. Results are presented for the process ...

Abstract: This research documents the use of oxidation‐reduction potential (ORP) to control two lab‐scale aerobic‐anoxic sludge digesters. The reactors were operated in sequencing batch reactor fashion, and one reactor had the ratio ...

Abstract: The oxidation‐reduction potential (ORP) was monitored within aerobic sludge digesters undergoing alternating aerated and nonaerated conditions. Observations were made on both bench‐scale and pilot‐scale reactors. Batch ...
